If this book helps somebody to honestly say what they are thinking and believing, instead of just repeating what they have been taught, then it will have accomplished something worthwhile. If what is written here helps somebody get rid of the fear of using their gift of reason, instead of taking so much on faith, then more has been accomplished. If those who believe in a superior power become motivated to live a good life out of love, instead of out of fear, then some more has been accomplished.Man''s ability to think is supposedly one of his most distinguishing gifts, and yet it has been discredited by many who want to replace it with beliefs of faith. Our minds ought to be able to share the thoughts of all the other people, past and present, digest whatever is there, and then make a judgment of our own. The freedom to do so is not present in systems of education that teach what ain''t necessarily so, and then apply threats to those who can''t accept something on faith.Fear is a terrible circumstance in life, and the freedom to live and listen and think and talk is as great a gift as we can imagine. Just to be able to think and say "Doesn''t it make more sense to . . . ." or "Wouldn''t it make more sense if . . . . " makes a great difference in our life. So many of us have been held back by the tradition of accepting so much on faith, and taught to fear the results of using our own power of reasoning in favor of accepting so much on faith, especially in the religious realm.This book asks you to think about several matters you may not have ever given much thought to, but the truth of which you just accepted on faith !
